McBean's profile has grown in recent weeks as he has become a staple in LA's starting XI, but he'll likely be in for a serious test against Borchers, who is one of the strongest defenders in MLS.

Omar Gonzalez vs. Alvaro Saborio

A true clash of the titans between the powerhouse forward and the sturdy defender. Expect a physical battle as Gonzalez looks to prevent Saborio from using his speed to get behind LA's defense.

Marcelo Sarvas/Juninho vs. Kyle Beckerman/Javier Morales

The match may very well turn on this battle of veteran midfielders. Expect LA's Brazilian duo to attempt to sufficate Morales as he looks to lead RSL's attack while also trying to prevent Beckerman from sending in piercing balls into the attacking third.
